At the end of your stay in the valley this is unfortunately where you end up. Not forever or anything, its just a necessary trip you have to make as there's no local garbage or recycling pickup service. The landfill is free to access for residential garbage and recycling. It's small and easy to access with well marked bins on where to drop everything off. Pro tip: Check out the "Windermere Walmart". Its a shed on the property where people drop off things that are still usable to save them from being dumped in the landfill. You can find household goods that are still usable, but may be a little rough around the edges. You can find toasters, microwaves, patio furniture and more. The locals say the best time to go is after the May long weekend. All of the cabins have been cleaned out and the Calgarians have dropped off their unwanted stuff. read more
